You are sooo right Gai...thanks for pointing that out. Based on the time it is taking to get to some of the countries...we are recommending that you DO ship it Priority...but don't insure it! And make sure you check with who you are sending to about the $amount to put in the "value" box on the customs form..(typically $20-$25) and make sure you mark it GIFT!
